what it's like to be married

Early evening at home ....
Me: "Do you need the bathroom right now?"
P.J.: "Nope."
Me: "Sure?"
P.J.: "Yep."
Me: "Okay, but also you have to go away."
P.J.: "Okay."
Me: "Because you know I have that thing about anybody being near the door and maybe hearing stuff."
P.J.: "Yes, I know, going away now."
Me (now yelling through closed bathroom door): "Seriously, thank you, I'm sorry!"
P.J.: "OKAY, NO worries, love."
Me: "YOU JUST CAME BACK IN - SERIOUSLY, GO AWAY!"
P.J.: "I am! I'm GOING! .... GONE."
Me: "You're awesome! I DON'T TELL YOU THAT ENOUGH!"
P.J.: "WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME TO LEAVE BUT THEN YOU KEEP TALKING TO ME AND I HAVE TO KEEP COMING BACK IN HERE EVEN THOUGH YOU TELL ME TO GO AWAY AFTER I DO BUT THEN YOU KEEP TALKING!?"
Me: (panicky) "NEVER MIND! JUST GO AWAY! SORRY! I'LL SHUT UP!"
